Training Hour: Sanctification

X. SANCTIFICATION

We believe that sanctification is the process by which, according to the will of God, we are made partakers of His holiness; that it is a definitive work begun with a radical separation from sin and to God by our union with Christ; and that this work is continued in the progressive work of the Holy Spirit in the hearts of believers in an ongoing separation from sin and to God through the regular use of the appointed means—especially the Word of God, self-examination, self-denial, prayer, watchfulness, and Christian fellowship.
